THE STRIKE IS STILL (IN
Much Wire Cutting Since the De-
parture of the New York Troops.
BROOKLYN TROLLEY TIEUP.
Legislative Committee to Investigate—Ate
torney General to Hear an Applica-
tion to Annul the Brooklyn
Heights Company’s Charter.
BROOKLYN, Jan. 30.—ere cutting was
the principal trouble the companies had to
contend with during the night. There were
breaks reported everywhere this morning,
but the companies got their linemen to
work. and the roads were able to get cars
through by daylight. The Atlantic ave-
nue system was the worst treated, the wires
being so badly used that cars were prevent-
cd from running on some of that com-
pany‘s lines. There was serious trouble at
Ridgewood during the early morning. dur-
ing which many of the pickets were badly
hurt by being struck by flying bricks and
stones. '
Michael Madigan and Electrician George
Liebermann. who Were shot during en-
counters between the police and the strik-
ers yesterday, are both doing well at the
hospitals, and the doctors say that neither
will die. A large number of strikers have
applied to the local assemblies of the K.
' of L., of which they were members, for as-
sistance. They Were told that they could
'not be supplied with money for the needs
of their families, and that they might seek
work in some other city. The men. num-
bering about 100, went right back to work
for the companies from whose employ they
struck.
Cars on the Brooklyn Heights system
are running regularly, but not on the usu-
al schedule time. Very few passengers are
carried, the skull and crossbones in let-
ters formed of soap and whiting not being
conducive of pleasure in riding.
The military pickets had a cold experi-
ence. The snow blew around them in their
exposed positions with sufficient force to
cut their faces. Their fingers were he-
numbed and their toes frost bitten. but
there was no way by which they could be
warmed until they were relieved.
Mayor Schieren said this morning that
he believed that the police and the Second
brigade of the state militia, aided by that
portion of the First brigade now left in
Brooklyn, will be sufficient force to main-
‘tain peace in the community.
Disturbance at Ridgewood.
Early this morning a gang of about 100
strikers gathered about the pickets at the
Ridgewood stables and pelted them with
stOnes and bricks. The military force
there consists of three companies of the
Forty-seventh regiment in command of
Major Eddy. The alarm was sounded as
the crowd became large, and the pickets
could not see its true proportions on ac-
count of the darkness and the falling
snow. The soldiers, rudely awakened
from their sleep in their uncomfortable
beds, fired at the crowd, which dispersed.
Flying missiles struck some of the pickets
and cut them, but none of the men was
severely injured.
At 3 o’clock in the morning six trackmen
in the employ of the Brooklyn City com-
pany were sent out from the depot of the
Flushing avenue line to clear the snow
away from the switches at various points
on the-road and put them in condition for
the day’s traflio.
While at Work on the corner of N ostrand
and Flushing avenues a crowd of strikers,
75 in number, armed with clubs, baseball
bats and Stones, set upon the defenseless
men and beat them unmercifully. The
men who were thus attacked were left ly-
ing on the snow where they fell until they
regained consciousness, when they man-
aged to crawl into their wagon and drive
back to the stables. Some of the mob
were recognized by their victims, and it is
the intention of the railroad company to
prosecute the assailants.
The opening up of the Third avenue
line on Sunday to Fort Hamilton, which
waswelcomed so eagerly by the residents
along the road. has not been continued,
and today the dwellers in that section of
the city have to resort to primitive means
of conveyance, such as milk wagons, coal
carts and farm wagons, to reach Fifty-
eighth street and Third avenue. where
the Third avenue line for the present ends.
The complaints of the people are loud and
deep against the railroad company, but
these have little effect. There is no pres-
ent prospect of the line being opened to
Fort Hamilton for some days yet.
Boycotting a Soldier's Family.
Charles Mason, a private of Company A
of the Forty-seventh regiment, stationed
at East New York, was taken sick with
pneumonia and taken to St. Catherine’s
hospital. Mason is a mechanic and lives
at 148 Meeker avenue with his family. He
would have been sent to his home but for
his wife’s request that he be sent to St.
Catherine‘s hospital. She explained to the
military authorities that the people living
in the neighborhood where she does have
taken a violent dislike to her husband and
his family because he is doing duty to the
state by serving in the militia. The wife
and children left at home are practically
boycotted, tradesmen will not supply
them with provisions, and she feared that
medical assistance would be withheld from
him if he were taken home during his ill-
ness.
The military and civil authorities will
take legal proceedings against the ring-
leaders in the boycott. .
Forcing a passage through Columbia
street was a difficult task for the motor-
men of the Crosstown cars this morning.
The tracks were piled up with obstruc-
tions of all kinds. Garbage had been
dumped from the barrels which line the
sidewalks in the vicinity on to the tracks.
Iron girders and boards and other obsta-
cles had been placed there. and every half
block of the journey the motormen had'to
dismount from their platforms and clear
away the rubbish. In some places the en-
cumbrances were so heavy and so numerous
that a gang of men employed by the com—
pany had to be called upon to clear the
stu‘fl aWoy. '
While the cars were stalled the strikers
stoned them, but as they were windowless
'no damage was done.

It Was Abstracted From the Clerk’s
Office In San Francisco.
AN IMPORTANT DOCUMENT.
The _Loss of the Late Millionaire’s Last I
Testament Is Apt to Complicate Mat-
ters Seriously—Many Millions
of Dollars Involved.
SAN 'FRANCISCO, ‘Jan. 30 —The will or
the late James G. Fair was stolen from the
clerk’s oflice. and there is not the slight
est claw to the perpetrators of the crime.
The discovery was made but half. an hour
before the usual time for closing the office.
Some one had come in and asked for per-
mission to see the document. A will filed
for probate is a public document, and, like
all papers in civil actions and probate pro-
ceedings. is supposed to be open for the in-
spection of any one who is interested in the
case and desires to see it. The clerk who
was asked to produce the will went to the
pigeonhole where it had been last placed.
He took the bulky envelope, on which was
inscribed, “Last will and testament of
James G. Fair,” and took it to the desk
where the visitor was waiting. When he
opened it, he was staggered at the contents.
The precious document was not there. In
its place was a lot of worthless paper,
which had been carefully folded and in-
serted in the envelope in an attempt to de-
lay the discovery as long as possible.
A Fruitless Search.
'1' he information was imparted to the
chief deputy. I-le carefully scrutinized the
envelope to make sure that the will was
really missing. A search was made in the
pigeonhole where the document belonged.
There was no sign of it anywhere. A thor-
ough search of the entire office, as far as
practicable, was made. The search was
fruitless.
not the slightest trace of it, though the in-
vestigation was not given up until long
after the county clerk’s office is supposed
to be shrouded in solitude.
When the chief deputy and the other
clerks who had been apprised of the theft
left the clerk’s office, there was not a
shadow of doubt in their minds but that
the will had been stolen. Still they had
hopes it would turn up 0. K. The disap‘
pearance of such a will is a far more seri-
ous matter than would be the disappear-
ance of a will in any other case. The great
length and peculiar verbiage of the docu-
ment render it almost impossible to prove
the exact language, which is important
even should there be no contest. Copies
are in the possession of attorneys, but if
there is to be a contest the accuracy of
copies would at once he questioned.
What is more, the signature of the dead
millionaire is gone. It cannot be produced
for the scrutiny of experts or for identifi-
cation by tho attesting witnesses. whose
testimony is. to be offered in support of the
will on hearing the executors’ petition for
admission of the testimony to probate.
An Odd Legal Condition.
A- recent dispatch from San Francisco
makes the following statements concern-
ing the troubles about the Fair estate:'
The dilemma of the late Millionaire
Fair’s children is probably unique in law.
The son is ready to contest his father’s
will on the ground of undue influence and
mental incapacity at the time it was
drawn. and the daughters, while taking
no part in this contest, will privately guar-
antee their brother against loss should his
attempt fail. But at the outset they are
met by the refusal of the executors to pro-
duce the other wills known to be among
Fair’s papers. The old millionaire had a
mania for making wills, and if he had
lived a few days longer he would have
added another testament to his collec-
tion. The position of the contestant is
this: Should he prove that the will which
the executors desire to probate is void,
they may spring another document from
their collection which it may be impossi-
ble to overthrow. The problem is a knotty
one, but the strenuous objection of the
children to comparative strangers han-
dling their father’s fortune as a trust will
probably lead them to risk everything to
break his will. By the terms of the will
they are at the mercy of men whom Fail
never trusted with his secrets, and their
trust has more hateful features than th
English entail. ‘
Postal Envelope Contracts.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. ——The third as-
sistant postmaster general will soon issue.
a call for bids for furnishing envelopes tc
the postoifice department during the next
fiscal year. The contract is a yearly one.
and the bids probably will be opened early
in May. As a result of recent measures
the call may include bids for furnishing
envelopes to all of the government depart-
ments. but the matter is not yet settled.
The contract averages $90, 000 a year, and
if the new plan is put into operation the
contract price may be raised fivefold.
